There is now only one Discovery Scanner available in game, that is based on the basic variant. Commanders that have purchased either the intermediate or advanced scanners will receive a credit refund

Detailed Surface Scanner upgraded to include access to brand new planet probes

Players can fire probes at bodies to gather data that can be sold.

Players can also use these probes to pinpoint places of interest on landable planets as well as uncover lucrative places in planetary rings to mine (mining tools will be available at a later beta release)

Each body has a "probe efficiency" target; if the player maps 100% of the body using either the same or less than the target, they are awarded a bonus

Added "First Mapped By" tag - the first commander to 100% map a stellar body and sell the data at a port will be named for everyone to see

Players will be unable to map Sol, Achenar or Alioth as these systems are already fully mapped

A credit bonus will be awarded for players that get either 100% first discovered or 100% first mapped in a system (these will not carry over to the live servers)

Added new things to find!

Orrery view added - players can access the schematic orrery view of systems from the system map

Exploration data and progress carried out in the beta will not carry over to the live game servers.
